About This Activity

The Katla Ice Cave tour departs from Reykjavík by Super-Jeep, stopping at Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls en route to Mýrdalsjökull glacier. On the glacier, certified guides lead you into Kötlujökull's ice caves — carved by volcanic geothermal heat through ancient black glacial ice streaked with ash from past eruptions. The ice here is over 1,000 years old. Year-round availability; full-day tour from Reykjavík is approximately 11 hours. Price approximately ISK 29,900+ from Reykjavík.

Seasonal note: Open year-round; best ice conditions Nov–Mar
